What a great time to begin an exercise program. I start my year off by committing to 3 hours of aerobic exercise per week or 12 hours per month. If I get behind in any week I allow myself to make up the time as long as I do the 12 hours. I use Ontri.com to log in my aerobic exercise and seeing the time build up really motivates me to keep going. I keep this going pretty well until June/July when I get outdoors more often to hike, play tennis and tend to the yard.
Three hours may be too aggressive for some, but try starting with 90 minutes per week and work your way up to at least 150 minutes.
Good luck and stay fit.

Endless Summer
What a great summer!! Hot and humid. Hopefully you were able to enjoy lots of water fun and keep up your good spring exercise habits. But, maybe the heat demotivated you a bit and your exercise dropped off.
Now that the weather is cooling down is an excellent time to reboot your outdoor exercise. Start walking or jogging now and you will be in great shape to really enjoy the cool fall and early winter outdoor weather.
After labor day is also a great time for a detox program. Clean away all of those little summer indulgences by by contacting Dr. Napoli at Dr.Napoli@gmail.com to get you started.
Stay healthy and talk to you soon.
